I'd like a refund for the time I spent watching them from 1994 to 2000.

There's some really funny stuff mixed in there.

Will never ever ever forget that night. My life changed a lot that next day but vividly remember being awake watching this game the night prior.

I had to fly for the first time in 8 years that next day. My anxiety was running higher than normal for sure.

Glen & Ray had Jim Eisenreich on today, great listen on the Radio.com app (they record these shows)

Yeah, I can probably give the first one a miss for sure.

So did a lot of Phillies.

I didn't get to check it out fully but this looks good:

Last blasts: The final home run in a Phillies uniform of 20 team legends

It's an interesting article to read, but it's basically a box score recap for most of the HRs, absent any real quotes or insight other that opinions about the players, some of them egregiously wrong:

"[Bowa] was also a five-time NL All-Star and won two Gold Gloves, a travesty since his fielding and overall defense were clearly the best in the NL during many seasons in which the award was handed to someone due to offensive contributions at the position."

Those weak-fielding SSs were Ozzie Smith, Dave Concepcion, Don Kessinger, Bud Harrelson, and Roger Metzger. All had substantially more range than Bowa, stronger arms, and very good consistency as well, just not quite at Bowa's later-career level. Hard to argue that 5 less errors by Bowa would out-weigh 50 more plays by Concepcion. Bill James treats this exact contrast in his first article on range factor. No excuse for being a 2020 baseball writer and not understanding that there is more to good fielding than minimizing errors.

Gotta DVR this, hopefully it's the phillies broadcast.

"Here comes Iguchi!" might be my favorite nonWFC Kalas call of all-time. It damn well better be the Philly broadcast.

Didn't actually go into the details of every last HR as a Phillie by every Phillie. No last HR is given for Thome. And when they review Dick Allen, they talk about his last HR the first time he was here, and then they talk about the second time he was here... and have nothing to say.

Jimmy is doing cameos.

Harper agrees with many of us here:

https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/cubs/ ... ris-bryant

“I wanted a team that was going to (try to win). And they were going to invest and go out and get the guys they needed to, but be smart, as well. You’ve got to understand, you can’t just trade (for) a star player and kill all your prospects,“ Harper said. “I don’t want to trade (Phillies prospect) Spencer Howard because we want two years of Kris Bryant.

“I love Kris. Kris is one of my best friends. He’s a great hitter. But if we can’t extend Kris after we traded Spencer Howard, then what would be the point?”
